Tuesday morning ns Mr. S. J.-Swice-good's
hands were digging the grave for
Mrs. Edwin Shaver in Oak Grove ceme
tery they struck the skeleton of a. man.
The grave is near the western corner of
the cemetery iu Mr. Shaver's enclosure.
The skeleton was not7 more than one
foot below the surface, and there Was no
evidence that it had. ever been enclosed
in a coffin. It lay in Hue witlf the grave
and protruded about one foot into the
head end of it. The legs were cut off be
low the knees and buried beneath the
grave.
This cemetery has been in use many
years and is about tilled. This is the
second Lime the grave diggers have come
in contact with human bones. In 18S9,
while removing a large t ree, the skeleton
of a man in a stooping position was dis
covered. It was supposed to be the bones
of an Indian. ' -
In Ilia Hands of a lttccivcr.
On Wcdncsd.iy, June -15th, nt eleven
o'clock in the morning, Judgo Hugh S.
Bond, judge of t no United States circuit
court, at Uichmojid, V."i;inia, jdaced the
.Richmond & Wcstroiu- Terminal and
Warehouse Company and tin ilichmond
Sj Danville Railroad Company in. the
hands of two receivers.
The receivers are Messrs. F. W. Huiu.""
koper, of Philadelphia, and lleubcn Fos
ter, of Baltimore.
"The total indebtedness cf the com
pany was $07,277,83'). This was on
3,520 miles of road, 'divided among '67
ro:ids and a water line of 200 miles.
The offices of the company have been
moved from Atlanta to Washington.
Thc affair was a surprise to most of
the railroad men here. The .checks for
last month, which should have been dis
tributed on the 15th, have not vet come,
notwithstanding an order has beeu is
sued to pay off the employees.
, Jas. L. Taylor, General Passenger
Agent, has resigned his office.
The Glorious Fourtli
Tho 4th of July Ts near at at hand. It
will be a national holiday all over tho
United States. Cannot Salisbury's busi
ness in en get up jr celebration? Greens
boro, Raleigh, Washington and other
towns iu this State will celebrate on an
extensive scale. "Among tho- features for
little Washington's celebration will be a
trade procession; representation of thir
teen original colonies by thirteen beauti
ful girls appropriately dressed in the
procession; tub race; yacht race; baseball;
frqtliug races; fire work?; oration, etc.
A big celebration would bo of incalcula
ble benefit to Sal isbury. Tho only cele
bration of importance here is the SOthof
May and that is observed only by the
negroes. -
The city" aldermen could bring about
the proper celebration of tho Fourth
if they decern it proper. .We arc-in favor
of allowing the uso ot firo works on the
4th of July and prohibiting it, at Christ
mas. This rule prevails in tho large cit
ies north. To say tho least, it is a barba
rous xractico to celebrate tho birth of
the Savior in the boisterous manner now
in vogue. Wo hone tho citv aldermen
will give this a little cnnstdnrnfimi.
